Martinez won the election by 7.2 points. I think Martinez won because she was better qualified, she has done more in the past and she was ahead in the election the whole time.

Susan Martinez
Martinez earned her bachelors from the University of Texas and received her law degree form the University of Oklahoma. She is and has been the District Attorney in Doña Ana County for the past 13 years. When she ran for District Attorney in 1996 she won 60% of the votes. Martinez has been reelected three times and ran unopposed in 2008. She is a Republican and Republican’s in New are outnumbered three to one. Last year on July 17, 2009 she entered the race for governor, and pledged to cut wasteful spending, lower taxes, create new jobs, end political corruption, and reform education. In 2008 Heart Magazine named Martinez “woman of the year”. She believes in less government, lower taxes, and personal responsibility. Martinez is pro life and strongly supports the 2nd amendment.
Diane Denish
Denish graduated from the University of New Mexico. She started and ran a successful small business for 12 years. She was elected the states first female lieutenant governor in 2002. Denish is a strong supporter of small businesses and believes they are the “engine of our state’s economy.” She has saved many small businesses through legislation and organizations. Denish led a program to expand pre-Kindergarten programs and has put effort to keeping children safe and having after-school activities.
The election has leaned more toward Martinez. The article from KOB news is about Daisy trying to lower the public opinion of Martinez by saying she is a Texan not a New Mexican. She is also trying to use the past conflict between New Mexico and Texas against Martinez.
Analysis
Susana Martinez is going to win the election. She is ahead and was ahead and has stayed ahead. Maritnez also appears to be better qualified. Throughout the election Martinez stayed in the lead then pulled a lot farther ahead. Now with Martinez 10 points ahead it seems that there is no doubt she is going to win.
